Hi, My name is Will.

I am a chemistry tutor at a university in North Carolina. This semester
I've picked up a tutee with ADHD. She's in her mid-thirties and doesn't
take medication.

Chemistry is a hard subject for most people anyway, and this course is
an endless source of frustration for her. The course is very
quick-paced, and there is seemingly endless amount of information to
memorize, as well as quite a few things to be done where there is no set
procedure, so you kind of have to develop a "big picture" from which you
can figure out how to do something.

I was wondering if anyone might have some tips for me (or things I can
suggest for her to try) that might reduce the level of stress that she's
experiencing, or to help what I'm teaching "stick." I'm willing to try
just about anything, and the university has allowed me to put in more
hours working with her than other students.

If I hear anything to try, I'll certainly post results to let the group
know how different things have worked.

Thanks for any help,
Will
